It’s been a while! Too long a while, really. Too, too long a while if I’m being really honest but I have an excellent reason for that and it’s in the post title up there. We had a kid! A little girl to be specific, and she’s incredible. But along with all her brilliant, beautiful,…
The story of how Christopher got his literary agent after more than 8 years, 7 manuscripts, and 200 rejections.
